Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lu Wu leaped over and landed in front of Duanmu Dian. It landed at a height where it could look at Duanmu Dian. Then, it lowered its head and called out in a low voice, “Master.”

‘The others from the Evil Sky Pavilion were shocked and at a loss when they saw this.

Duanmu Sheng was the most confused. He could not understand Lu Wu’s behavior or the way it addressed Duanmu Dian. His mood gradually turned slightly strange.

Duanmu Dian’s eyes reddened slightly. A man should not cry easily, but how many people were lucky enough to meet their companion who had accompanied them and fought side by side with them for over 10,000 years? When they had parted in the past, both of them were reluctant. He recalled when he

first met Lu Wu, the times when they cultivated together, and the blood and tears they had shed to kill their enemies.

Duanmu Dian, who was not good at expressing his feelings, flew over. His wizened hand trembled slightly as it landed on Lu Wu’s head. It was just like in the past when he would stroke Lu Wu’s head. The past seemed to have come to life at this moment.

Lu Wu asked in a low voice, “Why?”

Duanmu Dian suppressed the emotions in his heart. He patted Lu Wu’s head before he sighed and said, “When the Great Void invites you over, you don’t have the right to refuse.”

Lu Wu’s expression was a little lonely as it sat down and said, “You’re in the Unknown Land all this time…”

“Tm under the Great Void’s order to protect Dunzhang’s Pillar of Destruction. I heard about you when I came here. I really wanted to look for you, but I couldn’t leave the pillar,” Duanmu Dian said as his expression grew gloomy.

Lu Wu shook his head and said, “The Unknown Land is too vast. I wandered for ages, thinking I could find the Great Void.”

“Tm sorry,” Duanmu Dian said.

Lu Wu was silent.

Duanmu Dian said, laden with guilt, “I shouldn’t have left you and went to the Great Void alone.”

Lu Wu still did not say anything.

On the other side, the people from the Evil Sky Pavilion sighed when they overheard the conversation.

‘The man and the beast reminisced for a long time before their emotions finally calmed down.

Duanmu Dian forced a smile on his face and said, “No matter what, we’re lucky to be able to meet again. This is fate. From now on, we’ll continue to fight together!”

As soon as Duanmu Dian’s voice fell, a stern voice rang out. “No!”

Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice.

It was Duanmu Sheng.

Duanmu Dian looked at Duanmu Sheng strangely. What did their conversation have to do with an outsider? He did not have a good impression of the rash young man, to begin with. Hence, he said, “Old Lu.”

In other words, the words ‘Old Lu’ meant that Lu Zhou should take care of his disciple.

Duanmu Dian did not expect Lu Zhou would pretend to be deaf and only clasped his hands on his back.

Bang!

“IE say no, it means no!”

Duanmu Sheng flew out with his Overlord Spear again. His attacks were swifter than before. Not only that, but they were also deadly.

Duanmu Dian frowned and flicked his sleeve, sending Duanmu Sheng flying back.

Faced with a Great Saint, Duanmu Sheng had no chance of winning. If not for Lu Zhou’s sake, Duanmu Dian would have already severely injured Duanmu Sheng with one move. How could even give Duanmu Sheng a chance to attack if it were not for Lu Zhou?

As expected, Duanmu Sheng did not give up. He gritted his teeth and attacked again. His expression was one of fury.

“Third Senior Brother!”

“Mr. Third!”

The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion exclaimed one after another, trying to stop Duanmu Sheng.

The purple dragons shone even brighter than before as the corrosive energy surged. They grew to 1,000 feet long as they circled the sky. Then, they shot toward Duanmu Dian at lightning speed.

Duanmu Dian felt as though time had slowed down before he felt a dangerous aura. Hence, he activated his protective energy.

Bang!

The purple dragons collided with Duanmu Dian’s protective energy with a loud bang.

Duanmu Dian used his grand technique and moved backward. Needless to say, his comprehension of the law of space was much more profound than Duanmu Sheng’s. He frowned and said, “Brat, for Old Lu’s sake, I won’t stoop to your level. However, it doesn’t mean that I’ll always be patient with you.”

“Idon’t need you to be patient with me!” Duanmu Sheng said as he flew out again. His eyes were dark as black and purple energy surged from his body.

Then, the purple dragons grew bigger again.

“Third Senior Brother has become stronger!”

“When did this happen?”

“Mtr, Third possesses the corrosive energy, the Great Void Seed, and has been recognized by the Pillar of Destruction, after all. Moreover, he has deviated from the normal cultivation path. Hence, you can’t measure his strength by Birth Charts or golden lotus leaves.”

“Evil?” Duanmu Dian looked at the purple dragons and the corrosive power with a frown. Then, he turned to look at Lu Zhou and said with a hint of disapproval, “Old Lu, you actually accepted a disciple who has entered the evil state?”

Whoosh!

Duanmu Sheng flew over. However, before he could draw any closer, Lu W raised its head and spat out white mist.

Creak!

In just a moment, Duanmu Sheng was turned into an ice sculpture.

Boom!

Duanmu Sheng fell down.

Then, Lu Wu said in a deep voice, “Enough.”

Duanmu Dian chuckled and said, “Kid, you won’t be able to defeat an old man like me. You should return and play with the children.”

Then, Lu Wu spat out a cloud of mist at Duanmu Dian.

Duanmu Dian had never thought about guarding against Lu Wu so he was caught off guard and was frozen into an ice sculpture as well. Nonetheless, he was a Great Saint, after all. Before he fell to the ground, he had already broken free. Then, he glared at Lu Wu and asked, “What are you doing?”

Lu Wu said, “Although the Young Master is reckless, you should be responsible.”

“222”

Duanmu Dian frowned. His expression turned into one of disbelief as he looked at the frozen Duanmu Sheng. Then, he said, “What did you say? Young Master?”

Lu Wu said tonelessly, “He’s your descendant. His name is Duanmu Sheng.”

Duanmu Dian felt his mouth go dry. Then, he spun around to look at Lu Zhou in disbelief.

Lu Zhou nodded. “What Lu Wu said is true.”

Duanmu Dian:

Bang!

At this time, Duanmu Sheng broke free of the ice and shot up to the sky with his spear like a dragon. He arrived in front of Duanmu Dian at lightning speed.

Duanmu Dian flashed as he continuously dodged the attack.

“Let’s see how long you can run!” Duanmu Sheng chased after Duanmu Dian.

After learning the truth, Duanmu Dian no longer attacked. In fact, he was dodging very carefully, worried he would injure Duanmu Sheng.

Duanmu Sheng’s attainment in the spear techniques was very high. Coupled with the purple dragons, he was stronger than ordinary Venerable Masters. After obtaining recognition from the Pillar of Destruction, he had grown even stronger.

The purple dragons that were 1,000 feet long shot out.

The entire sky seemed to be filled with the purple dragons and energy spears.

Most of the people from the Evil Sky Pavilion had to retreat. Only those who were experts stayed to watch.

Duanmu Dian continued to dodge, cleverly avoiding Duanmu Sheng’s attacks. He laughed and said, “Kid, your attacks aren’t bad.”

Duanmu Sheng said angrily, “I have even better moves coming up!”

“Thousand Waves! Scorching Field Hundred Strikes!”

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Duanmu Sheng’s speed when wielding the Overlord Spear was so fast that it almost looked as though he was going to tear a hole in the fabric of space, which was surprising.

“Very good! Your innate talent and strength are quite good. To think that you can even burst forth with such strength!” Duanmu Dian did not fight back. Instead, he kept praising Duanmu Sheng.

Everyone felt embarrassed when they heard Duanmu Dian’s words.

Lu Zhou shook his head and asked, “Duanmu Dian, why don’t you fight back?”

“There’s no need for that,” Duanmu Dian said.

“Don’t tell me you can’t beat my disciple?”

“What a joke. I’m a Great Saint. How can I be unable to defeat him?” Duanmu Dian asked.

“I’ve only seen you in a disadvantageous position all this time. You were forced by him to dodge,” Lu Zhou said.

Duanmu Dian felt embarrassed upon hearing this. He said, “Don’t bother provoking me. This kid is very talented and strong. He’s undoubtedly a rare talent!”

“This old man is really giving it his all to praise his descendant

However, the more Duanmu Sheng listened, the angrier he became. Soon enough, his fury burst forth, giving birth to more power.

Buzz!

Duanmu Sheng’s golden avatar appeared. The twelve leaves and the purple dragons circled around it, generating a powerful force that pushed Duanmu Dian back.

Duanmu Dian came to a stop in the sky. A frown could be seen on his face when he looked at Duanmu Sheng. “The Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar? Wait, a golden avatar?”

Duanmu Sheng glared at Duanmu Dian and said, “It doesn’t matter what avatar it is as long as it’s an avatar that can defeat the opponent.”

Boom!

The wind whistled as the purple dragons flew out again.

Duanmu Dian could feel the joy of meeting his descendant cooling down as he looked at the corrosive energy around Duanmu Sheng’s body. His expression tumed solemn as he pushed his palm down and said, “Enough!”

The entire place froze.

The strength of a Great Saint was on full display at this time.

Duanmu Dian’s voice was like thunder, shocking everyone.

The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion, who were not in range of the freeze, were shocked and horrified.

Following that, Duanmu Dian’s palm seal fell on the purple dragons. The black energy around the purple dragons seemed to struggle for a moment before it was dispelled.

Boom!

Following that, the palm seal landed on Duanmu Sheng’s chest and knocked him down.

With that, the battle was over.

As soon as the Great Saint made a move, the outcome of the battle was instantly decided. After all, the difference between them was like the cloud in the sky and the mud on the ground.

Although everyone knew the outcome would be like this, they were still shocked.

Duanmu Dian turned to Lu Zhou and said, “Old Lu, if you don’t give a reasonable explanation, don’t even think about leaving this place today.”

Lu Zhou’s expression was unyielding as he firmly said, “I accepted him as a disciple, single-handedly raised him, and taught him life-saving skills. Even if he dies, you don’t have the right to tell me what to do.”

“You!”

“am I wrong?” Lu Zhou continued to say, “He followed me since he was young and went through a lot of hardships. After you became a Venerable Master, you left for the Great Void. Did it cross your mind that the Duanmu clan would suffer as a result?”

Duanmu Dian was stunned. For cultivators, severing these ties was necessary on the path of cultivation. It seemed heartless, but it was the truth.

At this time, Duanmu Sheng spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, after he struggled to stand up, he looked up and said, “You’re not worthy!”

Duanmu Dian looked at the furious Duanmu Sheng, He wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say.

Duanmu Sheng continued to say, “What right do you have to criticize my master? Unworthy is already a very kind word to describe you!”

At this time, Lu Zhou lowered his voice and said to Duanmu Sheng, “There’s an order in seniority. He’s your ancestor no matter what. You can’t be too rude.”

After all, one had to know one’s limit and not go too far.

Duanmu Dian remained silent.

Upon hearing his master’s words, Duanmu Sheng lowered his head and said, “Yes.”

At this time, Duanmu Dian sighed and said, “I was rude.”

Indeed, Lu Zhou was the one who had taken care of Duanmu Sheng like a parent. Duanmu Dian knew he did not have the right to criticize Lu Zhou.

Then, Duanmu Dian looked at Duanmu Sheng and said, “Kid, I didn’t hit you too hard earlier. Don’t pretend like you’re seriously injured. Those who don’t know will think I’m cruel and heartless.”

Duanmu Sheng rubbed his chest and looked to the side without saying anything.

Duanmu Dian sighed heavily before he said, “It’s understandable that you’re angry. After leaving the Duanmu clan, I went to the purple lotus domain. I wanted to quell the chaos there. However, when I returned, the Duanmu clan was no longer around. I asked around and found that the 3,000 members of

the clan had either fled or died. I couldn’t find anyone. I didn’t expect that as well. When I was in the purple lotus domain, I tamed Lu Wu and my cultivation improved greatly, but I was not happy at all.”

Duanmu Dian paused for a moment before he looked at Duanmu Sheng and said, “You have the blood of the Duanmu clan. Your strength is overbearing and fierce. Whether you acknowledge me or not, this is something that won’t change.”

Everyone sighed.

They were all pitiful people. Since things had passed the point of no retumn, there was no point in causing any more hurt.

After listening to these words, Duanmu Sheng felt complicated. He looked at Lu Zhou hesitantly, unsure of how to face the situation in front of him. He could only ask his master for help.

How could Lu Zhou not know what Duanmu Sheng was thinking? He sighed and said, “Duanmu Dian is indeed your ancestor. This can’t be changed.”

Duanmu Dian cupped his fists together and Lu Zhou and said, “No matter what, I’ll remember this favor.”

Lu Zhou said, “These are trivial matters. Although Duanmu Sheng is my disciple, it’s up to him to acknowledge you or not. I won’t force him.”

“What do you mean?”

“The human heart is made of flesh. Have you thought about making up to him?” Lu Zhou asked.

Duanmu Dian flashed and appeared in front of Lu Zhou. Then, he erected a barrier to prevent others from listening in before he said, “How? That kid is even more stubborn than an ox. I’m afraid he won’t acknowledge me.”

“That’s simple.”

“Brother Lu, please enlighten me.”

“Wow, look at his sudden change in behavior…”

Lu Zhou said, “There are two ways. First, join the Evil Sky Pavilion. Second, lead me to the remaining Pillars of Destruction.”

Duanmu Dian waved his hand and said, “Absolutely not! You know the rules of the Great Void better than I do!”

Lu Zhou flicked his sleeve and removed the barrier. Then, he said, “From now on, I’ll sever all ties with you!”

Then, Lu Zhou turned around and leaped on Whitzard’s back.

Everyone was stunned.

Dianmu Dian was also stunned. ‘He’s really ruthless!”

Lu Zhou frowned slightly when he saw everyone looking at him in a daze. He said in a dignified tone, “Are all of you deaf?”

“No, Pavilion Master!”

“No, master!”

Then, everyone flew up one after another to Lu Zhou.

Duanmu Sheng hesitated for a moment before he flew up as well.

“Lu Wu,” Lu Zhou called out.

Lu Wu: ”

Lu Wu was unable to express emotions. He felt that humans were really troublesome.

“Tl give you one last chance,” Lu Zhou said, raising his voice slightly.

Lu Wu glanced at Duanmu Dian before it stood up.

“You!” Duanmu Dian looked at Lu Wu.

‘So friendship will disappear as well?

“Wait!” Duanmu Dian hurriedly said, “I didn’t say no!”

Little Yuan’er muttered under her breath, “You clearly said no earlier…”

“Did I? No, little girl, it’s not good to lie. A Great Saint like me is a man of his word. How can you talk nonsense?” Duanmu Dian said with a straight face..
